Achieving Blogging Nirvana

Ever wonder why it’s so easy for some bloggers to just write any post they want on their blog and generate buzz about it. They’ve achieved a point of blogging nirvana where no matter what they write it will garner them comments and reactions from other bloggers. While other bloggers can’t even get a comment for weeks!

How Do You Achieve Blogging Nirvana?

Well, for starters stop stressing about what your next blog post is going to be about, you don’t have to write one more post today from fear of your readers dropping your feed, it’s OK if you didn’t write a good enough article that would get dugg, stumbled, reddited etc….JUST RELAX!

This is not a rat race, the internet is not shutting down tomorrow and if you don’t write one more post today you’ll still be alright. You’ll read a lot of bloggers {I’m guilty as well} telling you how many posts we should write per day, what types of posts, how long, how short, how to write a digg worthy post, how to get viral, blah blah blah….

You now what, to this day there isn’t one single solid piece of advice that I can think off which I’ve implemented in the way I manage my blog. Yes, some of the bloggers actually have some good advice to give out, but mostly it isn’t something that I would do myself. Why? Because I want to carve my own path. Once you know how you want to travel you’ll find an unknown shortcut sooner or later. I’ve found many.

Just because what some blogger did worked for them, doesn’t necessarily mean it’ll work for you. They’ve achieved a state of blogging nirvana where no matter what they do or write it will be beneficial for them. Because they have made their surroundings apply to what they want and how they want it.

Go Get It!

If you want something really bad, you’re going to have to go out there and get it yourself. Make your own road, use your own methods, build your own persona - fight for peace of {blogging} mind. Money isn’t the answer, it never is. Actually there is one piece of advice that I can say I have followed.

  • Never work for the money, let the money work for you.

Though there is no human being alive today that deserves credit for it, this philosophy is as old as the Universe itself.

Obviously when I speak about Nirvana you can’t leave everyday life out. But since I’m into full time blogging and making a living online I thought it’s time I achieved it for my work first, as it will lead me to achieve it for life. During the duration it took me to write this post I played with my baby girl, had some nice black tea and discussed something that touched me personally on a forum. All while completely relaxed.

I then realized that it’s not about how much I can accomplish, it’s what I can accomplish. Quality is much better than quantity.

  1. I feel the same way. I have listened to quite a few podcasts that give out information related to blogging. I have also read blogs about blogging filled with the same kind of information. Although I feel that most of the information is good, most of it does not apply to how I want to do things. Carving out my own path is fun and it means I’m not restricted in what I can do.

  2. preach brother preach!!

  3. Very nice..I think it’s something every new blogger worries about..(i do/did)

  4. Ah, yes. Write for your audience and the money will follow.

  5. Hey. I liked the post. The connection between Nirvana and blogging makes the lesson easy to remember.

    While I think ProBlogger and all that stuff gives good advice (that I heed), I also like to do what you say, “carve my own path.”

    If I’m not doing what I really want to do, I don’t even want to make any money from it. Stubborn like that…
